[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] How is it possible that your husband as a 2006 grad is making partner next year????  [/quote]

I was thinking the same thing.  My DH just made partner and graduated five years earlier.  For his firm, he made it quite quickly and at a young age.  Maybe she means a non-equity partner.  I know some firms call what is essentially a counsel a "partner."

That being said, I am sorry for anyone owing that much money.  DH owed $80K from law school and we paid it off aggressively (thousands extra every month) and it still took years.   But, I don't quite see how people go $200,000 dollars into debt for law school.  DH didn't have any help from his parents and went to a top three law school (so it was expensive).  In law school, he did live like a churchmouse and because he put every penny that he made during his two summers towards tuition and living expenses he didn't have to take such big loans.  I know that not everyone has the admittedly low standards for comfort and cleanliness that my DH has, but law schools should have some kind of education for new students about how not to go so far into debt in just three years.
